title: [Calculi: interventional treatment].
abstract: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is actually the most popular treatment in the urolithiasis. However, different factors influence the choice of the best treatment. Great progresses appeared in the conception of performing endoscopic material which led to minimize morbidity. Percutaneous approach is very popular but require expensive material and trained operator. Indications for open surgery were reduced but didn't completely disappear. We review in the next paragraph the literature of the last five years.
